What are your phobias, hangups or quirks?

Was reading about this in another message board and it's amazing how some strange things people could be afraid of/unwilling to do.

 

Mine has to be getting blood taken. I don't mind shots as long as it is not in the middle of my arm, but every time they have to take blood, I hate they choose the vein RIGHT WHERE I BEND MY ARM. 

 

What about you? Any strange fears, phobias or quirks you have?

bees turn me into a fuging two-year-old

 

 

Same here.  I was at an Atlanta Braves game with my dad and brother when I was like 7-8.  My brother threw a grasshopper down the back of my shirt and told me it was a wasp.  You would have thought my clothes burst into flames with the running, screaming and pulling my clothes off all at the same time.

 

When I was around 18 I was on a golf course and took a swig of Mountain Dew and there was a yellow jacket in it.  It got half way down my throat and then stung me 2-3 times.  My brother (nice guy that he is) informed me my throat might swell up and then I would be unable to breathe.  Well that sent me into a panic and was rushed to the ER.  Doctor gave me some shots to prevent swelling and told me most likely I would have been OK without them but if I had a reaction to the sting I may have very well suffocated.

 

I haven't been stung since.  fug bees.

whenever I have to go take a crap at work, i go try and find an empty bathroom. If the first bathroom I go to has someone in it also taking a dump, I will keep moving on until i find one that is empty or go to the least populated one....

 

I guess that's kind of strange....I just like taking my crap's in peace

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
